There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Those lists include picks for Bolton, Rioli, Baker, Graham. And those later picks can be traded up, such as for Brisbane's bid for Ashcroft.
He sort of has the Anthony Miles physique on him up close.
Not sure whether thats a good or a bad thing but Miles could find the ball pretty easily
If Richmond are looking to trade up the draft to get that extra pick inside the Top 5 the other team look at is probably Melbourne (pick 5). Especially with their GM saying last week that the group needs to 'get older' which makes it sound like they are all in with this group and not looking at the draft as such. Apparently their future 1st is on the table too.
First thing that comes to mind in a total rebuild is Lynch + later 1st round pick/ % salary?. Not sure that's a viable trade with Lynch's injurys and age but they may also look at just splitting pick 5 to trade for other players
The GM Alan Richardson's comments last week -
“We need to get older, we know we can’t get younger, it’s a recipe for disaster,” Richardson said in a statement to Fox Footy

Really hurt seeing Rioli go but i think its the best for the club that we attack this rebuild.
I don't begrudge any of the premiership crew too set themselves up post football or for family reasons.
Goodluck and Thanks for the premierships.
I know this looks overs but Picks 13/14/17 for pick 2 or 3
We go in with 1/2/6/9/10
Thats half of the top 10.
Fos
Jagga
Lalor
Armstrong
Berry
If Rachelle is on the outer at Adelaide, reckon Melbourne would look at him over a draftee, but 5 is too high for him, we could help satisfy them.
Let say we get 13 off the Suns as part of the Rioli / points trade, what about 5 and 38 for 13 and 23 (assuming we get that as part of the Baker trade). 38 will help us in points trades with Brisbane.
2004 - 5 picks in the top 20. How good is that?
>> 2016 Lids was a pretty good player til he got injured I guess.
2021 - 5 picks in the top 30. This is unreal!
>> 2024 Are any of them going to make it?
I love a good honeymoon period. Hopefully this time we find a player or two.

Melbourne's future 1st may be a bargain too If they are thinking top 4 next year. Could easily have another poor season.
Could well get it somewhat on the cheap and end up with a high draft pick in 2025. Bit more of a lottery though.
I reckon they might dangle their future 1st in front of Ports noses for Houston. Adding Houston / Rachelle to their mid mix / forward line would be a good move for them IMO. I think they will reload for 1 last crack with this list. I don't think either Oliver or Petracca will leave.
According to Jay Clarke - Houston has done a backflip and will not go to Melbourne..
Also apparently Melbourne also offered a 5 year deal to Jake Waterman but he has come out and said he'll be staying at West Coast.
Having a good look at Jagga
Incredible ball winning ability, especially at stoppages, knocks up getting clearances, has an instinct for where the ball is going, excellent hands and agility. Thats the positives
The negatives are many however,
He is so light, doubt he is 70kg, and doubt he will ever be 80kg in his life, so his body projects to end up as Clinton King
I reckon his kicking is actually below average or average at best, very conservative in his ball use by foot, and I reckon this is the reason,
Due to his weight and low hurt factor I doubt he ever makes it as a star in the AFL, will play 200 games but, will never be elite.

Missed 1 oldie handing Geelong our 1st pick in 2020 (like we are the superstars of the draft) for them to cash and get Holmes.
The 5 in 30 is number 1 worse, at least 2004 we got Deledio.
Find it hard to judge lalor from just highlights but he does look treacle slow and I doubt he gets up and down the ground much.
Geelongs second halves have been diabolical even a disinterested Eagles beat them,have been outscored by 9 goals second half last 2 games.
